• Half-fill a large saucepan with water. Add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Peel and slice orange (see ingredients) into thin wedges. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop garlic.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook plant-based mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

• Add passata, the brown sugar, vegetable stock powder, the plant-based butter and reserved pasta water. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add plant-based basil pesto and cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat. Season to taste. Remove pan from heat.
